Hayes Garden Benches Buying Guide

Garden benches can usually seat between two and six people. Two seater benches are brilliant for small gardens and act as a space to relax and unwind. Four or six seater benches are useful as additional seating in big gardens or can simply be a feature that adds to the overall look of the garden. Garden benches come in metal, wood or rattan and whilst some have arms and high backs, some are simple benches that can be used with dining tables. Most benches are straight but curved options are incredibly useful to position around tree trunks or awkward spaces. Metal benches are more complementary to a modern garden scheme and aluminium garden benches won’t rust, making them ideal as a low maintenance option. Aluminium and steel benches can also be moved easily if you prefer not to permanently site your garden bench while folding benches are a great space saving option. Chunky wooden furniture will suit a contemporary urban setting but can also look great in a traditional garden too. Likewise, rattan garden benches can cross over into any style of garden and are hard wearing for unpredictable weather conditions. Wooden benches, when left untreated, will naturally weather to a beautiful soft grey, or can be treated every two to three years to retain their initial appearance. Our range starts with inexpensive garden benches which are ideal for those who want a simple yet stylish bench. You can expect to pay more for larger benches or those made of premium materials like teak sourced from managed plantations. All of our benches are from respected suppliers and come with a warranty that covers defects in materials and construction sustained during normal use. So you can purchase your new garden bench with complete peace of mind.

What wood is used for garden benches?

Garden benches are made from many different types of wood, such as softwoods like redwood or hardwoods like teak. Hardwoods can withstand unpredictable weather slightly better than softwoods, and can fade naturally for a rustic look. Softwoods fare better when treated and some types of softwood are less prone to cracking. Softwoods are generally a more cost effective option and can be more sustainable

What type of garden bench should I buy?

Consider what kind of garden you have and what kind of bench would fit in well. Metal, with its sleek minimalist finish can look great in contemporary gardens. Wooden benches often look beautiful in traditional gardens, especially when worn down a little. You will also need to think about how many people will sit on it and whether you want to finish it with cushions or leave it as it is.

How do I look after my garden bench?

How you care for your garden bench will come down to the type of material it is, and how much time you want to spend on it. Low maintenance options may only need a wash with soap and water every so often. For wooden benches that need treating, you may need to scrub them with a stiff brush to clean them off before applying treatments. Metal benches with any chips can be touched up with some nail varnish or car spray paint for a quick fix.

How big are garden benches?

Garden benches are often perfect for small spaces, particularly yards or gardens where an outdoor table isn’t an option. Having a small two seater bench gives you somewhere to sit, and adding a side table provides just the right place to pop a drink on. Some garden benches can seat up to six people, and can be curved to fit round a tree and make a stunning feature.

What is a low maintenance garden bench?
Many garden benches now come pre-treated which takes the hassle out of doing it yourself. Hardwoods like teak or oak need less care and can stand up to rain and wind better than softwoods like acacia. Cast aluminium garden furniture isn't as susceptible to rust as some other metals. Treatments are available to prevent steel furniture from rusting and you can always buy a cover for your bench which can be quickly and easily placed over it with little effort.
